*A maximum of 5 players allowed on roster.

♦Teams may choose any 3 of the 5 team members to participate in each match.

♦The total of the skill levels of the 3 players fielded in any team match cannot exceed 15.

♦Only one player of skill level 6 or higher, sometimes referred to as a senior skill level player, may play in any given match.

♦If a team has only three players eligible, and two of the three are skill level 6 or higher, one of the senior skill level players mustforfeit their spot in the rotation.

♦Each team is limited to one coaching time-out per game.

♦Alternate between 8-Ball & 9-Ball racks, starting with 8-Ball.

♦Team Captains flip a coin to decide who must declare their three players for the match first. Winner of the flip has the choice ofdeclaring first or having the opposing Team Captain choose first. The players are listed in ascending order (lowest to highest). Thatlist determines the player rotation and is locked for the match. Once both teams in a match have declared their players, the playerscannot be changed unless the combined skill levels of the three players declared by a team exceed the maximum permittedcombined skill level in which case the team will be allowed to declare three different players prior to first rack being struck.

♦Order of play will be lowest skill level to highest.

♦Players lag to see who wins the first break.

♦Once the first two players have completed their rack of 8-Ball, the second two players in the rotation will play a rack of 9-Ball.Upon that rack’s completion, the next two players in the rotation will play a rack of 8-Ball. Once set, the player rotation continuesuntil a team reaches the required points necessary to win the match.

♦The winning team breaks with the next player in the rotation after each rack.

♦Each individual rack is worth one team point.

♦It is a loss of game to shoot out of rotation. Although it is sportsmanlike for the non-offending team to remind the other team thatthey are about to play a player out of rotation, they are not required to do so. However, before any infraction has occurred, theteam that has posted a player out of rotation may avoid penalty by asking the non-offending team which player’s turn it is in therotation. In that circumstance, the team must tell them the truth, and the correct player in the rotation will assume their rightfulspot in the game. Once the offending team has taken a shot out of rotation, the infraction has occurred, the game is over, and thesitting team will receive one point for the rack. Both teams will then move to the next game in the match, with players in thecorrect rotation. However, if the game is completed without the non-offending team calling the infraction, and the next rack isbroken, the results of previous rack will stand, and the team that shot out of rotation will assume the new rotation for theremainder of the match.

♦A player’s highest skill level (SL) in this tournament will be the highest of either the player’s skill level in 8-Ball or 9-Ball, unless theplayer is a SL8 or a SL9 in either format in which case their skill level in this tournament will be a SL7.YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER YOUR TEAM TO PARTICIPATE Stephanie Horne @ 210-589-5452
